False! The truth is a little lie casts a long shadow. Lies may reduce suffering in the moment but are more harmful than you think.

Lie #2 - “This will just take a minute.”

Have you ever found yourself working on a fun (or maybe not so fun) home project when, suddenly, your phone rings or dings? The next thing you know, it’s 4:30 and time to start dinner. You shove your project aside with all the other unfinished chores and projects that were halted because of kids, phone calls, and other “one minute” distractions. And don't forget Facebook! It might be fun now, but it’s one more slippery distraction tempting you to leave your house cluttered with half-finished ventures.

It’s better to stop and tell yourself, “Nothing only takes a minute.” Be honest and think about how long this distraction will really take and whether you really need to stop--even for a second--for it. What does your home and already-long to-do list look like if you don’t finish this current project? Is stopping for this distraction worth it? However, if you find yourself on the losing end of making these decisions, consider letting another pair of hands help. Those hands can belong to your husband, kids, sister, mother, or . . . Something Better.

Something Better is happy to help you sort through unfinished projects. We can clean up the mess the lies have made and teach you to recognize other organizing traps. It’s as easy as calling or messaging us and letting us know that you’d like a FREE site evaluation. No obligation, no pressure, no judgment.

Ever tell yourself this when you need to put away laundry but something
else seems more important or interesting? Unfortunately, small laundry piles become big laundry piles and before you know it, you have a Pile Monster.

It’s better to stop and think, “If I don’t do this now, what happens?” Visualize the frustration when you can’t find that blue shirt you want for the party. Remember what it was like last time and put away the laundry now.

It’s easier to put away a few things now than to try to conquer the Pile Monster later. The Pile Monster seems to win too many times! And if you really don’t have the time, consider letting another pair of hands help. This can be your husband, kids, sister, mother, or . . . Something Better.

Something Better is happy to help you dig your way out. We can clean up the mess the lies have made and teach you to recognize other organizing traps. It’s as easy as calling or messaging us and letting us know that you’d like a FREE site evaluation. No obligation, no pressure, no judgment.
